NAME

       seccomp_merge - Merge two seccomp filters

SYNOPSIS

       #include <seccomp.h>

       typedef void * scmp_filter_ctx;

       int seccomp_merge(scmp_filter_ctx dst, scmp_filter_ctx src);

       Link with -lseccomp.

DESCRIPTION

       The  seccomp_merge()  function  merges  the  seccomp  filter in src with the filter in dst and stores the
       resulting in the dst filter.  If successfull, the src seccomp filter is released and all internal  memory
       assocated  with  the  filter  is freed; there is no need to call seccomp_release(3) on src and the caller
       should discard any references to the filter.

       In order to merge two seccomp  filters,  both  filters  must  have  the  same  attribute  values  and  no
       overlapping architectures.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns zero on success and negative values on failure.

EXAMPLES

       #include <seccomp.h>

       int main(int argc, char *argv[])
       {
            int rc = -1;
            scmp_filter_ctx ctx_32, ctx_64;

            ctx_32 = seccomp_init(SCMP_ACT_KILL);
            if (ctx_32 == NULL)
                 goto out_all;
            ctx_64 = seccomp_init(SCMP_ACT_KILL);
            if (ctx_64 == NULL)
                 goto out_all;

            if (seccomp_arch_exist(ctx_32, SCMP_ARCH_X86) == -EEXIST) {
                 rc = seccomp_arch_add(ctx_32, SCMP_ARCH_X86);
                 if (rc != 0)
                      goto out_all;
                 rc = seccomp_arch_remove(ctx_32, SCMP_ARCH_NATIVE);
                 if (rc != 0)
                      goto out_all;
            }
            if (seccomp_arch_exist(ctx_64, SCMP_ARCH_X86_64) == -EEXIST) {
                 rc = seccomp_arch_add(ctx_64, SCMP_ARCH_X86_64);
                 if (rc != 0)
                      goto out_all;
                 rc = seccomp_arch_remove(ctx_64, SCMP_ARCH_NATIVE);
                 if (rc != 0)
                      goto out_all;
            }

            /* ... */

            rc = seccomp_merge(ctx_64, ctx_32);
            if (rc != 0)
                 goto out_all;

            /* NOTE: the 'ctx_32' filter is no longer valid at this point */

            /* ... */

       out:
            seccomp_release(ctx_64);
            return -rc;
       out_all:
            seccomp_release(ctx_32);
            goto out;
       }

NOTES

       While  the  seccomp filter can be generated independent of the kernel, kernel support is required to load
       and enforce the seccomp filter generated by libseccomp.
